Sciatica Nerve Pain Treatment Specialist in San Antonio, TX

The sciatic nerve runs down each leg from the buttocks. Nerve pain in the sciatica nerve can be caused by a few common issues. Usually, an herniated disk in the spine or a bone overgrowth can put pressure on the nerve, ultimately causing pain or numbness in the lower back or leg. This pain can be dull and infrequent, or very sharp and frequent, depending on the specific case of sciatica. There are some other, less frequent causes of sciatica nerve pain, which can include tumors, spinal problems, pelvic injuries, and fractures.

While sciatica nerve pain can be mild for some people, it can flare back up quickly, seemingly out of nowhere. One reason that a sciatica flare-up may happen is if your body is under a lot of stress, which can increase hormones that lead to inflammation. Other reasons for a sciatica flare-up may include being sedentary or prolonged sitting, poor posture, obesity, lifting heavy things incorrectly, or not exercising regularly. If you are prone to experiencing sciatica flare-ups, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible to learn more about possible treatments.

Most people experiencing sciatica nerve pain will feel a dull or sharp pain in their lower back or legs. Numbness is also a common symptom, while other people may experience tightness in their back or legs and an inability to bend or move their body in certain directions. Depending on how serious your case of sciatica is, the pain will vary.

At San Antonio Pain Consultants, our pain specialists have years of experience helping patients treat their sciatica nerve pain. This can be done through providing at-home remedies and recommending lifestyle changes, prescribing medications, administering nerve blocks or spinal injections, or providing physical rehabilitation programs. Depending on your specific sciatica symptoms and level of pain, these pain treatments will vary. The first step is to schedule an initial consultation with a provider at San Antonio Pain Consultants. During this appointment, a pain specialist will ask you more about your symptoms and medical history.
